<p>I think the author is suggesting that men are more attracted to beautiful women while women are attracted to men of status, so the offspring of such a mating may tend to combine the looks with the status-producing intelligence. Actually, that’s not a very complementary stereotype for either gender (though there may still be something to it).</p>
